# Updating default CLI plugins in version 7

Plugins must be updated to the latest version in order to function properly. 

You can use the command [`dotnet sitecore plugin init --overwrite`](https://doc.sitecore.com/xp/en/developers/104/developer-tools/the-cli-plugin-command.html "The CLI plugin command") to update any installed default plugins to the same version as the CLI.

The default plugins are:

- `Sitecore.DevEx.Extensibility.Serialization`
- `Sitecore.DevEx.Extensibility.Publishing`
- `Sitecore.DevEx.Extensibility.Indexing`
- `Sitecore.DevEx.Extensibility.ResourcePackage`
- `Sitecore.DevEx.Extensibility.Database`

The command does not update other plugins.

> [!note]
> The `dotnet sitecore plugin init --overwrite` command also installs any of the default plugins that you have not installed. If you prefer not to install or update all the plugins, follow the [update procedure](https://doc.sitecore.com/xp/en/developers/104/developer-tools/upgrade-the-sitecore-command-line-interface-to-version-7.html "Upgrade the Sitecore Command Line Interface to version 5") and provide the `--version` option.
